UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

רָ֣חֲקוּ מֶ֑⁠נִּי

keep_aloof from,me

Staying away from Job, that is, not approaching him or speaking with him, was a symbolic action that conveyed disrespect and disapproval. Even though physically it was the same thing that young men formerly did to show respect for Job, discreetly withdrawing from his presence, now it had the opposite meaning. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “they stay away from me to show their disapproval” or “they shun me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וּ֝⁠מִ⁠פָּנַ֗⁠י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק

and,at,face,my not hesitate spit

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb withhold. Alternate translation: “but they spit in my face”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

וּ֝⁠מִ⁠פָּנַ֗⁠י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק

and,at,face,my not hesitate spit

Spitting in Job’s face was a symbolic action that showed contempt for him as someone who was presumably a sinner. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. See how you translated the similar expression in 17:6. Alternate translation: “but they spit contemptuously in my face”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ֝⁠מִ⁠פָּנַ֗⁠י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק

and,at,face,my not hesitate spit

Job does not mean that these young men spit at him from a distance, even though he says that they stay away from him. He means that when they must unavoidably pass near him, they use the occasion to spit in his face. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “but they spit contemptuously in my face when they pass by”
